Default Lowering Pics/Instructions?

Does anyone have any pictures of the front and rear lowering bolts with advice/instructions for the lowering?

For some reason the search function does not seem to be bringing up very much.

Is info about this available in the owner's manual?

Thanks for the links. Do you know much you can lower front and rear w/o adding longer bolts or cutting bushings?

I lowered mine a coupe of weeks ago - it looks like at this time it is
1 1/2" lower both front and rear - but I understand it may drop some more with more miles on it - so I am waiting till I get a few more hundrer miles to detirimine what I actually got - It was a dramatic change from stock

Suggestion - make sure when you lower it that you turn the adjusters the same number of turns on all 4 corners. The factory corner weighted the car pretty well, if you change the height on one corner respective to the others it won't handle quite as well.
